I'm a Savings Woman

About Parents

'Romantic childhood friends huh? Oh. so that's why they look so close to each other.' I said in my heart.

"We've known each other since we were 7 years old. Do you remember Dafa, we always played together. We even played house and did childhood weddings. Everyone even thought that we would actually get married someday." Mila.

Dafa only nodded his head in a sign of agreement and he also laughed.

'Why do I feel awkward?'

I'm just Dafa's fake lover. So I don't have to feel bad about this.

Our classes started, but I always thought about Dafa and Mila.

"As you know, there will be a scientific competition in our city and there is only one student from each campus who is asked to go there for this competition. So you have to compete with students from other classes. I hope you can give your best in this." Speak lecturer.

'Scientific competition? Why don't I listen to that? Maybe because my mind is always distracted right now.'

When class ended and lunch came, Mila and Dafa stayed together the whole time in class. Even Lola did not dare to do anything to disturb Mila. Mila's family is more powerful than Lola's. So it's not surprising to me.

Mila and Dafa did look like such a mismatched couple.

"I called Sheila." Marissa woke me up from my thoughts.

"Look at them both. They look like a couple in love." I said to Marissa.

"Are you jealous?" Ask Marissa.

"What?" I'm surprised.

"You love Dafa and it's very clear from how you see it." Marissa.

"How could that possibly happen?" My toot.

"Then, now answer me honestly. Do you feel bad when you see them together? If the answer is 'yes', then you do love Dafa." Marissa said to me.

"I...."

'Did I really love Dafa?'

I suddenly thought about all the moments we went through together. Even when she bullies me and annoys me, I feel happy and my heart warms up. He makes me comfortable. When I needed him, he helped me a lot. And now I'm pretty sure that I love him.

"Yes, I love him." I said to Marisa.

Marissa then looked at me so intensely.

"I'm so happy and I even want to cry. Sheila finally realized her feelings." Marissa.

"But Dafa likes Mila and I think Mila is a good person." My speech.

"I have a sixth sense and I can see how all the women are***** and I'm sure that Mila is a woman ******. He just pretended to be nice. But actually he is a bad person and also a person who wants to win by himself. Trust me." Marissa.

"We don't know him very well. So it's too soon for both of us to judge her that way." My reply.

Our conversation was both halted because a lecturer entered the classroom. Marissa went back to her seat.

Throughout the class, I kept thinking about Dafa as well as myself. I realized that I loved her more and more and more.

It all felt so funny, when I realized how much I loved her, she was chatting and laughing with another girl.

'really ironic.'

Today we didn't talk to each other, because he was so busy with Mila. I went home with my mind thinking of him.

'Why did I realize how I felt about him when he came?'

When I entered the house I saw two men.

"Om Surya, Om Rio. What a pleasant surprise." I said as I entered the house.

They were both close friends of my parents. When I was a kid, they used to come and play with me. I really trust them.

"You are so beautiful! Your parents must be proud of you." Say Om Surya.

We chatted for a while before the two of them left.

I was about to go into my room but Big Brother was blocking me from leaving.

"What's up, brother?" I'm confused.

"We need to talk." Said Big Brother with a serious expression on his face.

"All right." My reply is quick.

'What exactly does Brother want to talk to me about?'

My brother rarely looks serious. As Aunt sat with us in the living room, Brother began to speak with my hand.

"Sheila's... I know this might sound weird. But you must not trust Om surya and Om Seno." Say Brother.

"What's? But we've known them since we were kids? Why can't I trust them now?" I'm confused.

"I trusted them before. But now, someone's telling me that they're both involved in our parents' accident." Say Brother.

"What?" I was so surprised, I couldn't believe what I heard.

"I didn't believe this at first either. They're the ones who did the investigation into our parents' previous deaths. But then I also started an investigation and all that proved that they had eliminated some important information. I still don't know which and why. That's why I warned you. In addition, the investigation I conducted is still ongoing until now. So, if they kill our parents, the reason is only one. They want our company and only one thing stands in their way now, and that's us." Said Big Brother at length.

"They might want to kill us." I said in a soft voice.

'All right, now I understand.'

I went to my room too. The people I trusted the most, they probably killed my parents. I really can't be trusted with this.

I am just a young man. So I can't think about the bad people around me. If they did betray my parents, then I don't know what to do next.

I just can't accept if what Brother suspects is true. Ever since I was a kid, I was so close to both of them. Meanwhile, Brother, since childhood did not really like being close to them. My head became so painful thinking about all the problems that were coming at me at this moment.

First, with the sudden arrival of Mila appeared and felt to be a bully between me and Dafa. After that, then with the possibility of the two Oms that I trusted so much it was the one who betrayed my parents.

Is life playing tricks on me and being unfair to me? Just like when I lost both my parents?

But this time I'm not a kid anymore. I don't care what happens next. I will be much stronger than before.

The next day....

I don't want to go to college, but....

"Sheila, wakeup... Let's get up..." Say Aunt.

Aunt kept forcing me to wake up. I'm not sleepy anymore. Bibi's voice has enough power to wake a bear in hibernation.

After breakfast, I paid my respects to Auntie, while Brother had gone to the office early in the morning. I also went to college.

When I arrived at the college, I heard everyone gossiping about Dafa and Mila. To be honest, I felt very uncomfortable listening to all that stuff.

The students started saying something.

"I think the two of them are very compatible and fit together."

"Yes, now we can be sure that Sheila is single."

"But to be honest, I think Sheila is prettier than Mila. But is Sheila smarter than Mila?"

"I heard that Mila is even better than Lola."

"One thing is for sure, Mila is softer than Sheila. Sheila was a rough girl She had even just hit four men head on. By the way we will see in the competition of scientific papers later. Who is smarter than both."

'Damn, I almost forgot about the men who kept chasing me.'

Everyone compares me so much to Mila in every way. Starting from beauty, intelligence, gentleness, kindness, strength and everything else. I could only shake my head at all of their babbling.

I saw Marissa running towards me.

"Sheila, don't listen to what they say. They don't know anything about the real you." Marissa.

Marissa looks so worried about me. At least I'm really lucky to have a friend like her. I hugged Marisa very tightly. He turned around and hugged me too.

I have to appreciate what I have now. If I have to protect Marissa and the people I love, then I have to be stronger than ever.

"What happened to you Sheila?" Marissa asked who seemed to realize that I was thinking about something.

"I was just thinking that I was really lucky to have you as my friend. I want to protect you." My speech.

"Eh?" Marissa looked confused.

I told him everything that happened yesterday after coming home from college. He sat with me and listened to all my stories seriously.

"Now, it's too dangerous to be close to me. If they did kill my parents, then they wouldn't be afraid to hurt you. So, it would be best if we keep our distance from each other." I said to Marissa.

Marisa stood up from that bench and directly slapped me.

"Ke... Why did you slap me?" Ask him.

I was so shocked that his attitude suddenly changed and directly slapped me.

Marissa knelt down and hugged me. Then he said, "fucking idiot. What kind of friend would I be, if I let you through all this alone." Her speech.

I don't know what I'm supposed to say. I never had a friend like him. I have to take care of him no matter what.

"Thank you Marissa." I almost said crying.

After that, we went to class. There I saw Dafa and Mila chatting together.

Marissa looked at me and said, "are you planning to tell him how you feel?"

"No. Don't you see how happy he is right now? I don't want to make him worry about my life." I said to Marissa.

I then went to my seat and looked towards Dafa and Mila who were laughing.

When Dafa looked at me, he said, "little cat, didn't you sleep well last night?"

"No." My reply was brief.

I don't want to talk to him. I'm more focused on having to find a solution to the situation my family is in right now. If Om Surya and Om Rio really did kill my parents, what should we do now?

Of course we have to find evidence first to prove our suspicions are true. But this is all very complicated. They are both very powerful. They will, of course, hide all evidence of their crimes very well.

I was thinking so deeply that I didn't realize that someone was calling my name. I then saw that it turned out to be Kenzo.

"Sheila, I'm going to have a party this week at my house. I want you to come. There won't be many people there. I just invited some friends." Kenzo.

'A party? You must be kidding me! How could I possibly go to a party in this condition?' I said in my heart.

"No, sorry I don't think I can come." My speech.

Kenzo looks disappointed.

"If you change your mind, I'll wait for you." Kenzo.

"All right." Reply me.

'I'm sorry Kenzo, I just can't go.'

I then looked towards Dafa who was looking at me.

'Does he look happy? Is he happy because I refused to go to Kenzo's party? Nah! He can't be jealous, right?' ask me in my heart.

"Why are you smiling like that?" I said to Dafa.

"I thought that you were going to the party." The answer.

"Are you happy because I'm not going there?" My toot.

"It looks so." Reply to Dafa with his reddened face.

'Is he jealous?'

It means that I still have a chance with him. I saw from the corner of my eye that Mila's face looked upset.

'Oh... So the wolf started to show its true face.'

Seriate....
